I finalllllly got to watch the movie I’ve been waiting to watch for about two months now :D
It was absolutely the best two hours of the Monday :)
I mean, sure the cinema was freezing and I was shivering… And I reallllly needed to use the ladies…
Ngam ngam at the very kan cheong moments!
Hahaha…Di saat-saat yang genting, Nature memanggil…
:P
But it was amazing.
I loved how when the movie started, the opening credits rolled in like movies in the olden era :)
You know, all-black screen, with them old font types in glaring white…
And Brad Pitt!Fuhhh…
His character’s yummy Southern drawllllllll… I could just listen to him talk all day…all night… And again… :)
And the leading actress, I thought she was gorgeous!
Right right right?
She looked so good on film!
Her face is so beautifully-sculpted, and her eyes?
It can melt diamonds.
Eli Roth is another yummy basterd…
Although here he looks somewhat werewolf-ish, his dark brows and deep set eyes were oh-so-alluring on screen ;)
So…
The Basterds are a group of Anti-Nazis wanting to bash the life outta every Nazi they lay their eyes on.
Absolutely fictitious, not a movie you’d want to be basing your history knowledge on…
If you’ve watched Valkyrie, the one starring Tom Cruise… (Another movie where the whooole plot was to kill The Fuhrer, Hitler)… Then maybe you can learn some history there la, I don’t know…
But Basterds were a riot. Hilarious moments here and there and we finally get to watch sexy werewolf man shoot the face off Hitler :D
While he and his fellow bangsawan were desperately trying to escape a locked theatre.
Goooooooooood schtuff.
:D
They had lots of nice brutal scenes I’m sure, but of course, since I watched in the cinema…they were all censored for the wellbeing of my mental health.
I’m not complaining much though, ‘cos for the scenes they didn’t censor, I still felt grossed out.
And even though they censored the scenes, you’d know what’ll happen and you can imagine it. That’s ENOUGH.
Okay. I'm sorry, my hormones are on a raging blaze right now.
It's a Tuesday night...
No, wrong, sorry, it's a Wednesday morning.
2.31 am.
Yes, and I've just watched Catch Me If You Can, an old movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio when he was just a lil boy... Much like Zac Efron in High School Musical today.
I think Leo was the Zac Efron of the '90s.
No, no, no... lemme rephrase that.
Zac Efron is this decade's Leonardo DiCaprio.
I mean, no one can beat his Titanic gig... ;)
So!
Catch Me If You Can...
Wow.
A story about a kid, barely adult, going around the country called America, forging cheques (They spell it "checks") by forging his identity...
He gets away playing a teacher, a pilot, a doctor, a lawyer... And cashing in his payroll checks. Whenever he wants. Because he manufactures his own checks.
Whaaaaaaaaaat a genius.
And I can't help but to just notice how girls willingly give their all to him.
Like how all girls just willingly fall into the arms of other Hollywood-created-bad-boys.
And the girls actually STAND by these men even when they find out they're actually crooks.
Sexy crooks.
WHY?
Why do we fall for these men?
Rawrrrr.
It's not about the looks... (Well, just as long as you're not butt-ugly la..)
It's not about what degree you've got from whichever Ivy League university you're from..
It's not about the money (It's how you get it, in this case :P)
I reallllllly think... That it's about the attitude.
Like how John Dillinger (played to perfection by Johnny Depp in Public Enemies) managed to convince the love of his life, Billie to elope after just one date.
(One date, right? About there la...)
So Billie was hesitant and all, and then she said something about how she doesn't even KNOW him...
And he said...
"I like baseball, movies, good clothes, whiskey, fast cars... and you. What else you need to know?"
Hellllllllllllll-lo, Johnnnneh.
I would've dropped whatever I was doing and let him take me wherever the hell he wanted to do whatever he wanted.
=D
So yeah, it's all about that cocky yet charming confidence that kinda turns me on...I think.
(Is that even possible? Cocky yet charming yet confident? Ahahaha. Sorry. Hormones :P)
Special mentions :
Jason Statham in The Transporter 3...
Bad-ass to the bone. Something about a guy who can fight off 10 armed dudes and still look crease-free in his crisp, white shirt ;)
Matt Damon, George Clooney and Brad Pitt in Ocean's Eleven.
I love movies like these. Totally smart, though they're not possible for you to try out in real life... But it's fun :D
Okay, it may be so geek-ish, but cmonnn. Learning new shortcuts when you see your friend’s fingers flying across the keyboard and magic happening on the monitor? You get excited too ;)
2. The radio plays a song you were thinking of earlier on
Yes, you ARE psychic and you CAN make the deejay play your song just by thinking about it.
3. Listening to a song that you’ve associated with someone and suddenly your phone rings and a text message comes in from that someone.
And yes, that someone must’ve been psychic too.
4. Pins and needles
The incredibly painful but pleasurable moment when you wake up and lift your head off your arm… And find that it’s completely numb.
Or when you’ve sat down for too long on your leg, cutting off blood flow temporarily until it gets numb…
You knowwwww… The feeling after the numbness wears off. And it feels like millions of ants are attacking you there. The feeling where if you move your limb just a liiiiiiittle bit, it’ll hurt like hell. And if you don’t move, it’ll still hurt like hell.
But at the same time, for some weird, kinky reason, it feels oh so good :)
5. Arriving at the LRT platform juuuust as the train rolls in.
Or even better, stepping in the train as the doors shut right behind you. :D
And you’ll know it’s gonna be a good day :)
6. Beating the computer at checkers
Cos you’re a genius!
7. The smell of just-snuffed-out matches
Like some people like smelling marker pens and petrol… Just burnt out matches are great! I used to always be the one striking the match in the Chemistry lab for group experiments… :D And I would always drift off from the actual experiment and strike up a few more matchsticks. :D Oops.
It smells so woody and heavy, it makes me smile :)
8. Rollercoasters
Wooo~~~
The jumpiness while standing in the queue, watching the people on flail their arms and scream, listening to the creak of the rails as the coasters fly by on top of the anxious crowd in the queue.
The jumpiness you get when you know you’re up next.
The jumpiness as you walk into your train, reach out for the safety harness and reach out for more harness and realising that there is none left and that is all there is to the miserable safety harness holding you back when the coaster goes upside down inside out and around.
The restrained jumpiness you get as the coaster starts moving slowly for the first few seconds, as if mocking you.
The thrill as it gains more speed.
The holycrapohmygodwhydidIgetonthisfrigginmachineohmaigadARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~
And then you run outta breath and can’t get another one in so you continue screaming silently.
Woooo~~~ I wanna get on one riiiiight now, baby, let’s go ;)
...too much time to idle away...and too much time to think up nonsense.
Do I...
...or do I not?
Should I...
...or should I not??
YES.
I WANT TO.
But no.
I know I'll just end up like --> :(
Yes.
You must be wondering what the hell I'm typing about.
I'm just typing away my frustration.
I want to just pen down my feelings and pour everything out.
But I don't want to risk anyone taking a hold of that piece of that paper.
That's just dumb.
So what do I do?
Subject my dear beloved readers to this shyte.
This frust-driven post that has been filtered for my own...errh...my own good.
And if you're wondering what's been bothering me,
no I'm not gonna be revealing it.
And if you're wondering if you could find me online on MSN to ask me (should you actually bother), I'll save you your breath, no I'm not gonna tell ya.
:(
:S
:'(
Seriously, I think I have too much time to think about all these nonsense.
That I somehow delusionize myself to believing it.
I must ask my senior for more workload.
Cut the time for me to let my thoughts run and fly and swim.
I'm just...
...confused.
ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
If I were a song now,
I'd be the noisiest, loudest, emo-est song you'd ever hear.
And after hearing it, you also will be a lil confused.
I thought I'd share a few more favorites of mine from the 15 Malaysia short films website :)
This one's really gonna make you go "Grrrrr..."
House, by Linus Chung.
Told you.
Heart-wrenching; and it just makes you wanna hit the stupid boys in their heads, dontcha think so?
The next one's a little silly, comical and nonsensical, but just relax and let it make you laugh :) (Especially the last part where the guy next to Adibah depicts the stereotypical Malaysian races. Admit it, it's funny :P)
Halal, by Liew Seng Tat
1 daging, 1 Malaysia.
Happy Independence Day, Malaysia :)
Despite all our complaints about the country...and how things are done...
I really do believe it is a nice place to stay in.
Mostly because of the food :P
And my family and friends I love so dearly.
And the fact that we can all live in peace if we don't do anything stupid.
:)
Anyway, I spent the weekends and today with my colleagues on a trip...
OMG it's just so different seeing everyone in t-shirts and shorts.
The mum, so geniusly representing a part of the rakyat all by her words and the tone of her voice.
And the guy, who seemed soft-hearted and wanted to sell the schoolgirl the chocolate even though she was five cents short, until his mum yelled at him for "talking to the Malay girl" and he hardened up.
Tak cukup, tak payah belilah!
And how he frustratedly slams the chocolate down on the counter.
Too late, she left.
What that all reflects in our country, it's all up to you to decipher and interpret.
Genius. Bless you, Yasmin Ahmad.
(Anyone notices how cute the guy is? :)
The one by Ho Yuhang, Potong Saga.
Isn't that the guy who sang that Negarakuku song??
I think so. Not sure.
There are 13 more short films about to be released soon, and I can't wait to watch em all :)
Getting hit by the crazy, sweaty rempits over-moshing: Ouch everywhere
Rising cases of H1N1: Being part of the statistics
Two bottles of water: RM10.
Watching Hoobastank play right in front of your eyes: Priceless.
For everything else, there's no Mastercard and I sure am feeling the aches in every fibre of muscle I have in me.
MTV World Stage.
We stood there since 3pm, allllll the way to near midnight.
To entertain the people waiting since...I don't know when...
They put this local singer on stage, I forgot his name, but he practically sang his song to the moves of the great MJ.
MJ's moves are great, but should you really follow them all to a T when you're trying to become an artiste of your own? :P
Cute moves though :)
When it started off, my friends and I were up front, closest to the stage when these few dudes started going crazy for Estranged. (seriously??)
Lol, their music's good, and their drummer's eyes were demonic red, but we(the people standing next to them crazy kids) think they came after snorting some coke or taking something illegal.
THE GUY'S T-SHIRT WAS LITERALLY SOAKED WITH HIS OWN SWEAT. EW.
I bet if you wrung that t-shirt, you could douse a whole forest fire.
And I was standing right next to him.
And he wouldn't back off.
And I wouldn't either.
F' off, I'm not giving up my spot til Doug Robb finishes.
Then Boys Like Girls performed! Wow, the lead was kinda efffeminate.. Haha.
Not that I have anything against girly guys, but I could never have thought so just by listening to their music.
They played The Great Escape! :) :)
I love that juvy song.
The effing rempit(complete with the tight pants and the thick-rimmed glasses and his other similiar friends) was still sweating next to me.
Halfway through Boys Like Girls, I gladly let the crowd push me away from that sweating entity.
Then someone from the band threw their wattle bottle at the crowd, the bottle landed right on top of my friend and I, we got totally drenched! And someone else took the bottle away.
:P
Hahahah, and they threw their setlist, I got it, kept it, went to the mamak later on and left it there... :P
After BLG, I think it was Raygun! :)
I've never heard of them before that night, but wow.
They are GOOD.
I got this whole Rolling Stones vibe from them.
Even the vocalist had this Keith Richards/Mick Jagger swagger!!
And their songs are sooooo catchy, you just gotta listen to them!
*See you later, see you later, I wanna see you later.. Gimme your number, I wanna see you later..."
*runs out to get ten of their albums*
So after that, some artistes performed and there was a quick break. I'm not sure which one came first.
Pixielott, methinks.
But what an odd artiste line up!
It was all rock, and suddenly there was a pop singer, Pixielott.
So...weird.
It's almost like throwing Celine Dion into a rock fest.
I quote a friend of mine, "Yes, except Celine can actually sing"
Hee.
All Pixielott did was fluff her pretty blonde hair around.
Wake up at 6.30am. LRT. Sleep in between stations. Office at 7.30am. Client's office at 9am. Work non-stop, save for lunch. Work. Work work. Leave the client's at 8.30pm(can drag on til 9.30pm XD ) Sometimes, back to the office for a lil more work. Home, dinner, fb, sleep.
Repeat cycle.
And there seems to be more work than ever?
How is that possible??
(Dumb question.)
I think now, I have the worst zombie-eyes a girl could ever have :(
ANYWAY...
I was talking to this marketing personnel at the client's office one day; going through the usual "So how long have you been working here?" kinda questions...
And I realised I didn't want the client side to know my real age :S
What if they doubt my credibility/qualification/etc etc???
I mean, it's like how you'd have second thoughts about a college kid performing surgery on you, y'know??
"So how long have you been in audit?" "Hmm..." *cracks my head hard to think of an answer* "What do you think?"
(OMG What a dumb response. Lol.)
"3 years?" "WAHHHH, do I look that old??" "A year?"
LOL.
"Around there lo.."
(I lied. I've only been doing it for less than 6 months.)
And there was more talk until the conversation finally led to THE question.
"Ohh... So how old are you??" *again, I cracked my head to think of something* "Hehe, you think leh?" "Wahhh, again ah... Erm, since you said you had a year working experience, I'd say, 23?"
"No laa.."
"21?" "Around there lo..."
:P
AHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
This is sad.
I'm eighteen, I'M EIGHTEEN!
Yes, now you can totally recoil back and realise I'm a kid :)
But boy oh boy, I just realised the power of smiling at people.
No matter how hostile or cold they are to you, just smile at them, speak to them at a ridiculously nice manner and voila, you get what you want :D
And now apparently, when I get really exhausted from the work at the end of the day, I start smiling and laughing for no reason.
My friend thinks I'm nuts because at 8.30pm we were all really tired and he saw me smiling.
"Eh why do you look so happy to be working this late?"
Many of my colleagues asked me the same questions...
Not just my colleagues actually, lots of my friends and relatives give the same reaction and ask the same questions about me starting work now.
"Aren't you a little too young?"
Why ah... Feeling your age creeping up on you already? Hee :P
"Working ah?? Missing out on your college life lor???" Well, yes and no. See, back when I was studying full time, I paid the college a ridiculousamount of tuition fees so I could fall asleep in the (uncomfortable) lecture theatres.
Really, I got bored of learning that a way.
So now I'm just learning this a way :)
And I still go to classes in the same college. Except I don't pay anything :D
And I get paid to study. Ahahahahhahaha.
"You're 18 wor... Supposed to be having fun with your friends wor..."
Who says I'm not having fun??
"Audit ah?? Work every day and night wan leh... Summore working and studying... No life edi la?"
I admit, the working hours are a little crazy to some, but that's life, everyone. I'm not complaining.
Yet.
XD
It's weird, really.
I've been working late for the past few days now, and I am still fine.
Cheerful, even :)
Even though two hours ago my laptop wentcrazysottsottdeiandhangedandIdidn'tfriggingsavemytwohoursworthofwork...
I was fine.
Still am.
I have been going to bed at 2am and waking up at 6.30am to go to work.
And it goes on the whole day til 2am and cycle repeats.
Three days now.
I'm still very surprisingly fine.
I suspect...
I suspect it's one of those times where I spend so much energy for a few days and crash down like crazy the following week.
Like a sugar rush/coffee high and after a few hours, you'd feel so spent and miserable.
It's July. Never really liked the month of June and July... Because they're the months with no/little holidays in them.
And now I'm feeling it more than ever in the office.
I can't even tell which or when the next public holiday is coming...
Isn't a Sultan's birthday due sometime soon??? Grrr...
It's July! I've been working for about... ...four months now :)
I have to say, I LOVE IT. I love it, love it, love it.
The people here are great. They totally make my day.
Because there's too many... ...Here's a gist of the people I saw in the office today.
Ah Ry My gossip girlfriend. Makes my 8am mornings feel so much better :) Especially when we go "OMG" over Tranny and No. 27 ;) And laugh like idiots when we discovered that people actually made the phrase "work done" into a word.
Stell My lunchmate, came in the same day I did :D We love our morning Nescafes... "Stellabucks"
Brain Greets me every morning over MSN Msgr Ever so patient whenever I ask him dumb "DUH" questions... :D
Zen My damn smart classmate who likes to blackmail Ah Ry just to get her all worked up. Whom also threatened to swap his schedule with mine. Don't you dare...
Mr L He's old... Very old... But believes himself to be 18, I think. Mid-life crisis :P Incapable of understanding the word "paiseh" as well :P Hehee..
Mc A walking Red Box for Hokkien songs... Always, always makes everyone laugh. Always, always hungry :P
Sh He will finish your M&Ms. :D
All the other people are mostly nice people. Lol.
Err...The work comes in somewhere in between :P
Have yet to encounter any horror stories from the working world yet... Don't want to, but they say it is unavoidable.
And this Friday, will be going out for after-work drinks with the AA people!
When I heard the news over the radio at 7am, I was in shock.
Michael's gone.
The King of Pop.
And right after the news, they played Remember The Time.
A few tears rolled down my cheeks.
I have no idea why I was so "affected" by the news.
It's not like I know him personally... But it did affect me.
I grew up listening to him. My sister and I did, thanks to my dad's influence...
We'd watch a VCD of his greatest hits together.
Imitate the awesomecool dance move from Smooth Criminal... You know, that move where he and a few dancers would lean ridiculously to the front and slowly get back to balance?? Yeah, we face-slammed the couch a couple of times trying to "practise" that move.
And then Thriller comes on, and we'd use the couch pillows to hide behind every time the werewolf chased the woman.
And then The Earth Song's video would make me cry.
In short, Michael's music is the type of music where, if I hear it on the radio, I'd stop whatever I'm doing just to enjoy it :)
(He was my first celebrity crush. Lol. I know, a bit weird, but I loved the suits and the bad-ass dance in Smooth Criminal)
And listening to his songs, when you KNOW he's gone, is just weird. A different feeling to it.
I don't know. Maybe it's just the newness of the news that freaks me out. I'm listening to the song when I knowwwww his body is lying cold somewhere. Brr...
Anyway, I hope he doesn't feel any more pain, wherever he is now.
A man who gave such a beautiful gift to the world (in the form of platinum-selling records) should not have been shunned away to his not-so-nice state of living after the legal cases against him. I actually would like to believe it wasn't him. He DID NOT do it.
I know, I'm biased, but HEY. Smooth Criminal is awesome. Beat It is awesome. So are his millions of other hits. His moonwalk is unbelievable.
Of knowwwing, lack of bras, sexism and metal snakes.
Yesterday night was the first time I walked into a cinema and knew almost everyone in there.
Well, not that I knowww everyone.
See, the firm I work for decides to have a movie night! :)
(Apparently the first of its kind in the firm's history)
So it's not that I knowww everybody there, but more like the I've-seen-your-face-before-I-know-you-work-where-I-work-therefore-I-knowww-you kind knowing.
You know?
It was weird.
The entrance of the cinema hall had the firm's banners :P
Then I realised the cinema seats were of the firm's corporate colours! How perfect.
And we watched Transformers 2 on the night of the premiere *ohh yeah, kick ass firm* ;)
And so we allllllll watched metals clang together.
Annnnnnd we watched Megan Fox braless running very, very hard.
And watched magic powder bring someone back to life.
Good stuff ;)
Although the evil hot girl with the metal snakey tongue was a bit terrifying. If any guy tried to rape her I think her metal snakey thing will castrate the rapist right inside her.
Lol.
Sorry for the details :P
Annnnyway,
If there's one thing I wish would stop?
It's the fact that men love going "Oh she's PMS-ing today" whenever a girl/lady/woman is upset/angry/blew her top.
Like...
WTH WTF STOP IT ALREADY. What is it called when MEN get upet/angry/blow their top??
HUH??
It's not friggin bloody "PMS".
You mean you can't be angry without having to PMS?
It's upset-ness/anger/blowing their tops of because of some other valid reason which is probably due to you anyway :P
So stop pointing towards those three letters.
It's very sexist; immature, even.
Some girls do it (blaming the PMS when other women are upset/angry/blowing their top) too.
Do that in front of me and my metal snakey tongue will severe your tongue off, I swear :P
Zebras and rockstars and apple crumble with vanilla ice-cream and everything else..
